Of course, merchants exist to make money, but these profiteers are too ruthless, and sloops, although they are not into the stream, can easily be transformed into fishing boats. It would cost a few hundred pounds to build a new ship, according to the old fur dog, and even if you add depreciation and black market sales, two hundred pounds would be a fair price.

These profiteers directly threw out the purchase price of twenty pounds...... This is really quite a bit of a calm atmosphere of mixing milk into chloramine, and it is really the best to the top level.

And as soon as the old fur dog heard what the guy said, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he slapped the counter hard:

"Which eye did you see that we were going to sell the dhow?"

The old sea dog was full of confidence at this time, and he already had a bit of power when he scolded, and the guy didn't dare to slack off when he heard it, and hurriedly said:

"So what do you need?"

The old fur dog said loudly:

"Go and ask your boss, what price can he give for two Royal Navy Galen ships with paddle sails, Class III ships, plus sixty-three brand-new guns from the Krupp Arsenal, one pound and three pound guns?"

The fellow's eyes widened when he heard this, and he immediately shouted at the old fellow, who was surrounded by the crowd:

"Dick, you stupid, those small businesses are okay for them to wait for a while, and I'll give you five points when this business is done!"

Fang Senyan and Jiao Shi were stunned for a moment, the one who felt this black turban was the boss, and the old man was a hired man...... As soon as the boss spoke, Old Dick immediately showed a relieved expression and squeezed out. They nodded to Fang Senyan and asked them to sit down.

At this moment, of course, those contractors scolded angrily, they also had more than a dozen people at this time, they belonged to three groups of forces, and they were upset when they lined up before they came, but they didn't expect that a stopper suddenly came out here, of course, they wouldn't be comfortable. Fang Senyan didn't pay attention to them and Jiao Shi Mo Gansha talking and laughing at each other, treating them as if they were air.

After all, those contractors still can't do anything here, because for the contractors, Tetuga is similar to the hell gate camp in the Avatar world, which is a safe area, so they can only grit their teeth and leave in hatred. Fang Senyan only sent the gold mine out at this time, and had the most fierce face-to-face confrontation with Old Dick, as soon as the so-called gold mine came out, who competed with him, he directly pulled a stool and put it next to Old Dick, and then jumped up and put it on Old Dick's shoulder affectionately and said:

"My dear friend, these two ships are of excellent quality, sexy, plump and round, and the price you give is really unreasonable, twenty-one three-pounder guns can be worth three hundred pounds each, and here it is more than nine thousand pounds......"

After some verbal bombardment in the gold mine, he then took out a Chinese abacus, crackled for a while, and finally reported a number:

"So, it would have been four thousand one hundred and thirty-five pounds and seventeen shillings, and you would have given four thousand five hundred pounds."

Old Dick always felt that something was not quite right, but he was still confused and successfully traded with the gold mine, and the four of them immediately took the money and left, and before they went far, they suddenly heard a miserable scream from the old profiteer inside!

"Oh my God! Even a brand-new Galen three-masted ship is just over £2,500! ”

Hearing this terrible cry that was almost like cutting flesh, Fang Senyan and Jiaoshi glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and quickly disappeared into the sea of people. In a few seconds old Dick rushed out of it, and shouted angrily:

"What's wrong with me today, why did I give this money in a daze? Damn liar, you better pray not to get caught by me! ”

Then the old fur dog took Fang Senyan to another dock in Tetuga, where the price and service were relatively fair. Fang Senyan also put forward his own requirements to the owner of the dock, that is, to completely give up the ability to fight remotely, only seek speed, and want to ask him if he can let the ship accelerate further at the current speed, and the price is easy to say.

The owner of the dockyard was named Lohan, a bearded man in his forties, and he spoke loudly and with a strong heart. After listening to Fang Senyan's words, he went to the field to see the Sam, and Fang Senyan promised that the transformation could be completed by this time tomorrow, and the ship could be accelerated by another 20%, of course, the price was also very expensive five thousand gold pounds. ,

Those five thousand gold pounds are probably an astonishing astronomical amount for an ordinary contractor. Fang Senyan's previous two newly launched Class III ships that were fully armed were sold for less than 5,000 gold pounds, but for Fang Senyan at this time, it was just a sum of money that needed to be thought about a little.

He sold the fruit of the giant sargassum for a high price of 160,000 gold pounds, and at this time, in addition to all expenses, including the pirates' dividends, and the squandering of food for Paul, he could now have more than 100,000 pounds of liquid money in his hands at this time.

Therefore, in the face of Luo Han's request, Fang Senyan readily agreed, and asked Luo Han intentionally or unintentionally after making the payment:

"I wonder if there's a way to build a ship that can go faster than the Black Pearl?"

Luo Han was stunned, shook his head and said:

"It's almost impossible."

Fang Sen Yan Qi Dao:

"Why?"

Luo Han probably also knew that Fang Senyan was a big patron who spent a lot of money, so after thinking about it, he smiled, and after making everyone a cup of coffee, he invited them to sit down and said:

In fact, there are many legends about the Black Pearl, but what people are most convinced of is that it is worthy of the name of the fastest speed in the Caribbean, so that it is regarded as a representative of freedom! But hasn't anyone analyzed why the Black Pearl is the number one clipper ship in the Caribbean? This is of course impossible. In fact, every shipbuilder has an ambition to build a ship that surpasses the speed of the Black Pearl! ”

"When I was studying shipbuilding under the Master Jason Reese, a special royal craftsman, I discussed this matter with a friend, and he told me that it is said that when the Black Pearl was first launched, it was just an ordinary five-masted armed merchant ship, and if there was anything special about it, it had a keel of very good quality!"

"Keel?" Reef was stunned. He also doesn't know much about the jargon of ships.

Probably Luo Han also wanted to get these big financiers to spend more money, so he said very patiently:

"The keel is a longitudinal member that connects the bow and stern columns in the center of the hull base when building a ship. On the top of the keel there is a cross-rib reinforcement. Just like the spine of a human or animal, there are ribs on both sides, and the keel is the backbone and core of a ship, and with it, the ship has the main backbone. ”

After seeing Fang Senyan and their general understanding, Luo Han said seriously:

"After the Black Pearl was launched, it was originally used as an armed merchant ship - you should understand, armed merchant ship means to be a merchant ship when it encounters a navy, and to be armed when it encounters the rest of the merchant ships or pirates that have been defeated."

"According to our speculation, the successive captains of the Black Pearl are also some guys with strong attainments and vision in ships, so after they capture the other party's ships, they not only plunder the wealth, but also easily find some hull components made of precious and rare materials from the rest of the ships, and then add them to the Black Pearl, even if they can't tow the rest of the ships away."

After hearing Luo Han's words, the black buddy and the reef looked at Fang Senyan at the same time, obviously thinking that he could also plunder the precious components on the rest of the ships, and Fang Senyan was also thoughtful, and Luo Han continued:

"What we know for sure is that the owners of the Black Pearl must all have a paranoid penchant for speed! Therefore, in the long plundering process of the Black Pearl, they robbed countless ships, and equipped the entire ship with a variety of precious parts, which are obviously all enhanced in speed without exception, so in this perennial plundering process, it will slowly change from quantitative to qualitative, and finally form the current king of speed in the Caribbean, the symbol of freedom, the Black Pearl! ”

The black buddy couldn't help but interject:

"It doesn't sound too difficult, so theoretically, if you only need to have money, you can buy enough accessories to increase your speed and surpass the Black Pearl, right?"

When Lohan heard this, he burst out laughing:

"That's why I mentioned that keel to you at the beginning of the story! For a ship, it is also a whole made up of thousands of delicate components! It's definitely not as simple as stacking up precious parts. ”

"Believe me, friend, some of the precious and delicate hull fittings even have a soul of their own! Can you imagine a band with no accompaniment and only singers? If you like sweetness, would you ask for a scoop of Malaysian cane sugar in a fragrant black pepper steak? ”

"What makes the Black Pearl a unique king of speed is that it has a unique keel from the moment it was built and launched!! Only such a magical keel can strongly support the backbone of the entire ship, suppress the conflict and backlash of those precious parts, if the commander of the army perfectly integrates those parts, and then create the king of speed in the Caribbean! If it weren't for that keel, the accessories attached to the Black Pearl would have been in a frantic conflict. ”
